Title: Layonara Campaign Handbook
Post by: Leanthar on September 20, 2004, 03:43:00 PM: [SIZE=18]It’s finally here!!!!! After months and months of long and hard work Ed finished the Layonara Campaign Handbook just a few minutes ago. If you go here, [/SIZE][SIZE=18]http://www.layonaraonline.com/downloads.asp[/SIZE] (http://www.layonaraonline.com/downloads.asp)[/url][SIZE=18] , and look under General Information you can download either the watermarked version or the black and white version.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=18]Everybody that worked on this handbook deserves a HUGE round of applause. And Ed has dedicated his life to it for about six months now, his attention to detail and dedication is superb. Others have done a lot of work on it as well; you will find the list of credits in the handbook.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=18]I especially want to thank Ed, Zizz, and Rhizome for their hard work on this project. Great job to everybody![/SIZE]
[SIZE=18]I highly recommend you guys/gals go get this handbook, it is great and will help each of you in some way and probably in MANY ways.[/SIZE]

I have download the PDF by right clicking and 'save as' a .pdf but Adobe reader says it had an error opening the document. What version of Adobe was it made with? I'm at work so it might be a version prob. We are running 4.0 here.

Post by: Zizz Zelan on September 20, 2004, 09:46:00 PM: Glad y'all like it...it was an absolute _monster_ to edit. I had a lot of fun, though. :) If you catch any nitpicky errors in the text I might have missed, drop me a line; I want this thing to be as near to perfect as possible.

Major kudos to Ed...I know I fell behind schedule a lot, but he never made me feel bad about it. He did a fantastic job in the writing (if you have any doubts, read the description of the Spine Mountains; absolutely *gorgeous* work, I love the image of the dragon rising to the sky and shrugging off nonbelievers. And barring grammar/punctuation edit, that's all him in his SECOND LANGUAGE!), formatting, and support departments. He's incredibly committed and talented, and I'm proud to have worked with him.

Enjoy, everyone! I hope y'all have as much fun reading it as I had working it over. :)

Post by: Xerina on July 07, 2005, 05:41:00 AM: I know this is a old post, but the handbook is great it was a great deal of help when I first came to Layonara, and I still use it when planing a character out, or checking for information for my lore keeping historian. Everyone did a great job that worked on it. Its better then many handbooks that are done for games you pay for. One of the best handbooks I have ever seen, its very impressive, if a bit overwhelming when you first open it. It would be a nice item to think about selling in the store printed out. Oh to have a hard copy with out burning out my printer.
SO I just wanted to say thanks for the great job.

Post by: Leanthar on July 07, 2005, 07:51:00 AM: They did a great job on it that is for certain and the one that deserves the most credit, hands down, is EdTheKet. Stay tuned though because a new version is coming somewhat soon.

Just a thought.
